Such A Failure



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone i was banded about 4 yrs ago, i lost nearly 7 stone in 9 months, then had a baby & hes 20 months old now, ive been slowly putting ALL of the weight back on again

I went to the hospital today to find out the reason for it... Its because its leaking & ive got to go back to have day surgery for a new port

I feel sooo angry for allowing myself to put all the weight back on again.. But ive got to lose the weight again for the sake of my baby, i owe it to him to get fitter/healthier, but i feel so ashamed & low.

Debbie: Not a failure! You had a baby and a leak! You'll get it fixed and then you're back on the program. It's probably surprising you didn't gain more than you did! You lost it before and you can lose it again. You have the advantage of being so much smarter about how the band works and what you need to do to get good results. Hang in there!

Thanks hun, I am more determend now, Im very lucky to have a baby out of this & to get back into control again..

They said its a common thing for a band to leak, I just wished i'd gone back way before now & i don't know why i didn't, I think i just got back into my bad old ways :(

That's okay, you're starting now, no beating up yourself up! Take care of the baby and take care of you!!! You did it once, you can do it again!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
